Like most mornings in Orlando, the sun is pouring through the
windows of Nick & Brian's bedroom. The first time in months that they have
slept in the master bedroom, actually went surprisingly well. Nick made it
through the night without having any flashbacks or horrifying nightmares
about Brian leaving him for Justin Timberlake. Whether it was that he has
simply gotten over it, the presence of Brandy & Briannick laying at the foot
of the bed, or Brian & Nick's new sweat suit, Nick isn't sure. All he knows
is, he's glad he got a restful nights sleep, totally nightmare free.

As the sun continues to shine into the room, Nick and Brian are
awakened by a wet licking on their faces, and soon realize that Brandy and
Briannick are the ones licking their faces. Nick pats Brandy on the head
before gently shooing her away from his face.

Nick and Brian wore the sweat pants from Harold III and Jackie to
bed, but took off the sweat-shirt, in favor of sleeping naked from the waist
up. Nick wraps his arms around Brian, and Brian wraps his arms around
Nick, and the two of them just start kissing each other passionately. They
break the kiss when they here two small whimpers near the closed bedroom
door.

"I think the puppies may need to go outside," replies Brian with a grin,
as he and Nick get out of bed and walk over to the door. Nick opens it and
before Nick and Brian even have the chance to get out, both of the collies
are running down the stairs at what seems to be the speed of light. Brian and
Nick, still wearing the sweatpants that connect them to each other, do their
best to run down after them without tripping and falling down the stairs.

****

They run after them and Brian opens the sliding glass door to the patio
in the kitchen, as the puppies run out into the backyard to take care of
business. Nick leans against the counter, as Brian reaches over to the kitchen
island and starts the coffee pot. Once that's done, Nick pulls Brian back, and
kisses him passionately on the lips again.

The two of them just kiss each other passionately, their tongues
wrestling playfully in each other's mouths for several minutes, before they
both head back upstairs. They remove the sweat-pants, and get partially
dressed. Nick goes back downstairs wearing his usual boxer-briefs, and one
of Brian's many Kentucky sweatshirts, and Brian goes downstairs wearing a
pair of blue silk boxers, and one of Nick's hunter green silk shirts, which he
leaves unbuttoned.

Brian and Nick head back into the kitchen, and Nick begins making
breakfast for Brian and him, while Brian pours water into a bowl and gets a
bowl of kibble and a few doggie treats ready for the puppies. Brian puts the
bowl of water and the bowl of kibble down on the floor, and Brandy and
Briannick happily begin to eat their breakfast.

Brian then walks over to Nick, wraps his arms around his waist and
rests his head on his shoulder. Nick turns his head and kisses Brian, before
going back to cooking. After a few more minutes, Nick finishes making
breakfast, and Brian and Nick sit down at the table and eat.

****

Meanwhile, at the home of Robert & Jane Carter..

Robert Carter sits in the den in deep thought, while pretending to
watch the morning news.

"My son dating Brian? My son is gay? Hell no! I must find a way to
break up this farce of a relationship, and make my son realize that he
belongs with a woman, like it should be. I refuse to allow this sick
relationship between him and Brian to continue. How the hell can my wife
support Nick in this unnatural behavior? How can Jackie and Harold Littrell
support Brian in it? It makes absolutely no sense whatsoever, but I know one
thing for sure. I will not stand for it!"

Robert Carter begins to formulate a plan to break up Nick and Brian
permanently, and to get Nick into the only right relationship in his mind,
with a woman.

****

At Howie and AJ's apartment..

AJ has moved in with Howie, seeing as their was extra room since
Brian moved into the house with Nick, and now that Howie and AJ are
attempting to form a relationship of their own. They do sleep together at
night, as they have almost every night for months, ever since they decided
they wanted to try being together. But, they have yet to consummate the
relationship. They decided that if they had jumped into bed that night, they
probably would have ended up having a relationship based solely upon sex,
and that's something neither of them wanted.

Howie sits in the living room, wearing only a pair of purple boxer-
briefs. His hair isn't tied back in its normal tail, as he sits there sipping
coffee, and watching tv. AJ comes into the room, yawns, and walks over to
the kitchenette and pours himself a cup of coffee, he too is wearing only a
pair of boxer-briefs, only his are yellow.

"Well, look who finally decided to get out of bed," replies Howie as
he throws one of the small pillows on the sofa at AJ.

AJ just laughs and puts the pillow back on the sofa before laying
down with his head in Howie's lap. "Why didn't you wake me, D?"

"Well, ya looked so cute laying there sleeping that I didn't have the
heart to wake ya."

AJ just smiles, as he sits up and kisses Howie on the lips. The two of
them kiss each other passionately, their tongues wrestling around in each
other's mouths for several minutes.

Howie and AJ lay in each other's arms for another twenty minutes,
before AJ replies, "Well, we're supposed to go shopping with the guys today,
so I suppose we should get going."

"Yeah, and remember what Kevin said, make sure to have a good
disguise cause these are after-Christmas sales, so the stores will be packed
with people who may recognize and mob us," replies Howie.

"Yes, I know, D, of course this is Orlando, that fans here are always
pretty good at leaving us alone, now come on gorgeous, I'll race ya to the
shower," replies AJ as he and Howie both jump off the couch and head for
the bathroom.

"I knew that! I was just playing around," replies Kevin, as the three of
them walk into the living room to find Nick and Brian still locked in a
passionate kiss.

Kevin clears his throat, and replies, "Hey Nick and Bri, the other love
birds of the group are here."

Nick and Brian don't stop kissing and they just both raise one hand
and wave. Howie, AJ, and Kevin just laugh and sit down. Soon, Howie and
AJ are kissing each other too, and Kevin is beginning to feel severely left
out.

****

After a few more minutes, Nick and Brian stop kissing, and shortly
after, Howie and AJ stop.

"Ya know, its not fair. You guys have all found love with each other,
and I'm all alone," replies Kevin with a frown.

"Well, all of you turned out to be gay, and to tell ya the absolute truth,
I'm not exactly sure of my sexuality," replies Kevin.

"Um, Kevin, AJ and I aren't gay, we're bi-curious," replies Howie.

"What do you mean you're not sure of your sexuality?" asks AJ.

"Exactly what it sounds like dumb ass! I'm not sure," replies Kevin
with a grin, "I mean I am attracted to girls, but I've also had some fantasies
about guys before, including a few about um, well. I shouldn't say."

"About who, cuz?" asks Brian, intrigued.

"They were about," replies Kevin, and then mumbles, "Nick."

"What was that? I didn't quite hear that," replies Howie.

"They were about Nick, okay!?" replies Kevin louder, as he starts to blush
a bit. Nick blushes too out of total embarrassment.

"Uh-oh, Bri, looks like your cousin has the hots for your man," replies
AJ with a grin.

"Well, he ain't getting him," replies Brian as he pulls Nick tightly into
his arms as if Kevin was going to jump up at any second and steal Nick
away.

****

Nick starts gasping for air and manages to say, "Bri? Air!"

"Oh sorry, Nick," replies Brian as he loosens his grip.

"Don't worry cuz, I admit that I have always had a small crush on
Nick, and that I've had a few fantasies about him, but I've stopped
fantasizing about him since you two got together and I saw how happy you
two were together," replies Kevin as he gets up and gives both Brian and
Nick a hug.

Brian whispers something into Nick's ear, and Nick gets a devilish
grin as he stands up, and gives Kevin a kiss, on the lips. Nick then sits back
down in Brian's arms, a big smile on his face, as Kevin just stands there
totally shocked.

"What was that for?"

"Well, Kev, it was Brian's idea," says Nick innocently, "He told me to
give you a sample of what you'll never have. And a kiss on the lips is all the
sample I'm willing to give."

"Its all the sample I'd allow you to give," replies Brian with a grin as
he kisses Nick on the cheek.

"Well, then, Kev? Shall we all play matchmaker and try to set you up
with someone?" asks Howie, as Kevin sits back down.

"No thanks, you can leave that up to me," replies Kevin.

"Kev! If we do that, you'll be alone for the rest of your life!" replies
AJ with a grin.

"Haha, you're so funny, Alex," replies Kevin as he playfully punches
AJ in the arm.

"Hey, D's the only one here who can call me Alex," replies AJ as he
punches Kevin back.

"Yeah, lets head out," replies Howie, as everyone gets up, puts on
some hats, and some dark sunglasses, leave Nick and Brian's house, and
head out to Nick's Durango.

Nick & Brian - Part 26 Written by JCV

The guys arrive at a local mall, and go off in their own directions,
after agreeing to meet back up at the food court in two hours for lunch.
Kevin goes off by himself, Howie and AJ head off, and Nick and Brian go
off together.

Nick whisper over to Brian, "I so wish that I could hold your hand,
but that would be disastrous if anybody recognized us."

"Yeah, it would be," whispers Brian, "Not to mention the fact that
Kevin would kill us if he caught us showing affection in public."

"I want to go here," replies Nick as he stops in front of Foot Locker.

Brian rolls his eyes, and replies, "Nick don't you have enough shoes?"

"Nope, a guy can never have too many shoes," replies Nick with a
grin.

"Nick, there are two walk in closets in our bedroom, and one of them
is almost completely dedicated to your shoe collection!" replies Brian.

"So what?"

"Okay, okay, let's go," replies Brian giving in as he and Nick enter the
store. Within a matter of minutes, Nick has four boxes in his hands, and is
still looking. Brian just watches in total amazement as Nick picks up a fifth
box of shoes that he likes. Brian begins to look around himself, and picks up
two boxes himself, before he manages to get Nick to go over to the cashier.

****

Nick and Brian place the boxes on the counter and the teenage girl
behind the counter rings up the purchases, before replying, "That'll be
$753.84."

Brian begins reaching for his wallet, but Nick stops him and replies,
"Its on me, Bri," as he hands the girl his credit card. The girl looks at the
card and her mouth drops open as she reads the name.

"Yeah we are. If you promise not to scream, we'll sign something for
you," replies Brian.

"Okay, thanks," replies the girl with a huge smile as she goes into her
purse and pulls out a piece of paper and a pen. Nick and Brian both sign the
paper, and hand it back to her, before she takes Nick's credit card and runs it
through the machine, and hands Nick the receipt to sign. Nick quickly signs
the receipt, and the girl puts the seven shoe boxes into two large bags and
hands Nick the customer copy of the receipt and his credit card.

****

Nick and Brian smile widely at her before they head back out into the
mall. Nick and Brian walk around the mall for a little while, stopping off at
various stores, before they end up at Camelot Music. They go in and pick up
a few cds that they want, before Brian looks at his watch and says, "Hey, we
should get over to the food court, we're supposed to meet the other guys in
15 minutes."

"Okay, let's go," replies Nick.

Brian and Nick, who now between them have twelve bags, head over
to the food court, where Kevin is waiting on them, with ten bags of his own.

"Hey Kev," replies Nick as he and Brian walk over and put down their
bags.

"Hey Nick, hello cuz," replies Kevin.

"Hi cuz," replies Brian, as his mouth drops open.

"What's wrong, Bri?"

Brian is unable to speak and he just points. Nick and Kevin follow his
finger to see Howie and AJ struggling towards the table, each carrying
eleven bags. Howie and AJ get over to the table and sit down, looking very
happy to set down all of the bags.

"Damn, did you two buy out the entire mall?" asks Brian.

"Actually Nick, only 4 of these bags are mine," replies Howie, "The
rest belong to this freak."

"Freak? Who are you calling a freak?" asks AJ.

"I'm calling you a freak, Alex," replies Howie with a grin.

"Just checking," replies AJ with a grin himself.

"Okay, its official," replies Nick.

"What's official, Nick?" asks Kevin.

"We're going to have to tie AJ and Howie to the hood of my Durango
to fit all these bags in," replies Nick with a grin and a laugh.

****

Everybody just laughs at that, and Brian, Howie, Nick, and AJ head
off to the various restaurants to get their food, while Kevin stays to watch
the bags, telling Brian what to get him and giving him the money for it
before he leaves.

Soon, Nick, Howie, and AJ return to the table with their food and
begins eating. Brian takes slightly longer since he had to get not only his
food but Kevin's too. But he gets to the table soon, and gives Kevin his food,
and begins to eat his own. Half an hour later, all of them finish eating and
pick up their bags, and head out to the parking lot. It was a very tight fit, but
they were able to all get into Nick's Durango with the forty-six bags, without
having to tie anybody to the hood of the car.

Nick drives them all back to his place, and Nick and Brian help
Howie, AJ, and Kevin load their bags into their cars, before heading into the
house with theirs. Nick and Brian carry their bags upstairs, strip down to
their underwear, put on their new sweatpants, and crawl into bed. They're
soon fast asleep in each other's arms.

Nick & Brian - Part 27 Written by JCV

As usual, an audience member starts the show off, before Rosie starts
talking for a few minutes. Finally, she announces what will be happening on
today's show. "Today we have Joshua Morrow and the Backstreet Boys.
We'll be right back with Joshua Morrow after these messages," replies Rosie
in her normal cheerfulness.

Roughly two minutes later, Rosie comes back on and says, "Welcome
back. And now to introduce my first guest, he plays Nicholas Newman on
the Young and the Restless, here is Joshua Morrow!"

The audience claps and cheers as Joshua walks out on the stage. He
waves to the audience, hugs Rosie, and then sits down. After the audience has
quieted down a little bit, Rosie starts to talk with Joshua.

"So, Josh, how are you?"

"I'm doing very well actually," replies Josh with a smile.

"Now, besides playing the wealthy heir to the Newman throne on
Y&R, anything else interesting going on in your life?"

"Well, I am in a band actually, called 3 Deep, along with my ex-Y&R
co-star Eddie Cibrian, and a mutual friend, CJ Huyer."

"3 Deep? Can't say as I have ever heard of you," replies Rosie with a
smile.

"Well, we haven't really made it big in the US yet, we're popular in
Canada though, and we've released our debut album, called "yes yes
yes...no no no."

****

The conversation continues for a few more minutes, before Rosie
replies, "Okay, we have to go to commercial break, and then today's musical
guests will be performing. Will you stay Josh?"

"Sure, no problem."

The show goes to commercial and one of the producers as the guys
come out and sit down on stools. Rosie comes over, and quickly shakes
hands with each before the show starts back up.

"Okay, and now, they recently released their third album, Millenium,
here are the Backstreet Boys, performing, "Back to your Heart."

****
It's not that I can't live without you
It's just that I don't even want to try
Every night I dream about you
Ever since the day you said goodbye
If I wasn't such a fool
Right now I'd be holding you
There's nothin' that I wouldn't do
Baby if I only knew

The words to say
The road to take
To find a way back to your heart
What can I do
To get to you
And find a way back to your heart

I don't know how it got so crazy
But I'll do anything to set things right
'Cause your love is so amazing
Baby you're the best thing in my life
Let me prove my love is real
And made you feel the way I feel
I promise I would give the world
If only you would tell me girl

The words to say
The road to take
To find a way back to your heart
What can I do
To get to you
And find a way back to your heart

Give me one more chance, to give my love to you
'Cause no one on this earth love you like I do, tell me

The words to say
The road to take
To find a way back to your heart
What can I do
To get to you
And find a way back to your heart

I turn back time
To make you mine
And find a way back to your heart
I beg and plead
Fall to my knees
To find my way back to your heart

The words to say
The road to take
To find a way back to your heart
What can I do
To get to you
And find a way back to your heart

Back to your heart

****

The audience claps and cheers as the guys finish the song, and Rosie
invites them over to sit down with her and Josh. Knowing that the BSB were
going to be here, and since they did tell her that she had to get more chairs or
something the last time they came on the show, Rosie has added another
chair and a love seat to the normal three chairs that sit beside her desk.

Brian sits in the chair next to Rosie's desk, with Nick sitting next to
him, then Howie, and AJ, with Kevin and Josh sitting on the love seat.

"We'll be right back after these messages to talk with the Backstreet Boys,
and Joshua Morrow."

****

A few minutes of commercials later, Rosie comes back on. "Its so
good to see you guys back on my show," replies Rosie with a huge smile.

"It's great to be here," replies Nick.

"Okay, well, do you know Joshua here?" asks Rosie.

"Well, we've never met him in person, but we all watch the Young
and the Restless, and think you do a great job Josh," replies Brian.

"Thanks, I try," replies Josh with a smile.

"Okay, guys, now the question every girl in the world wants to know,
are you single?"

"No, Sharon and I are just good friends and co-stars, nothing more,"
replies Josh, "I'm still single."

"Is there any particular reason that all of you are still single?" asks
Rosie with a grin.

"Well, I don't know about them," replies Josh pointing to the
Backstreet Boys, "But, I am far too busy with Y&R and 3 Deep to date."

"Yeah, its pretty much the same thing here, being Backstreet Boys
keeps us pretty busy," replies Kevin.

****

"Okay, this question is for Nick and Brian," replies Rosie, "There
have been rumors that you two are dating each other, because you recently
moved into a home in Orlando together. Any truth to that?"

Brian and Nick look at each other for a moment, before Nick kisses
Brian on the lips. Brian pulls away abruptly and rubs his lips.

Then both of them burst out laughing, finally Brian replies, "No,
Rosie, Nick and I are just best friends. I don't know about Nicky here but I
am as straight as they come."

"So am I," replies Nick, "We only moved in together because we were
both tired of apartment living, and we always have been good friends, so we
thought it would be fun to live together."

"Okay, now there's also rumors floating around that Howie and AJ are
a couple," replies Rosie, "Any truth?"

"Me and this freak? I think not!" replies Howie with a grin, "No, I am
straight, sorry to all of you guys out there who were hoping I wasn't."

"Nope, I'm straight, so me and Howie have never dated each other,"
replies AJ, "I was just a little tired of living alone, and after Brian moved
out, Howie needed a roommate, so I moved in. We're just friends and
nothing more."

****

"Okay, well, we have to take a break now, and when we get back
hopefully we can get the Backstreet Boys to perform one more song?"

"I think we might be able to do one more song," replies Nick.

"Okay, stay tuned," replies Rosie as the camera goes off, and the guys
go over to the area where they performed earlier. "What will you be
performing now?" asks Rosie.

"Um, how about Show Me the Meaning of Being Lonely?" asks
Howie.

"Okay, sounds good," replies Rosie, as the camera comes back, she
replies, "Okay, and now here are the Backstreet Boys, performing "Show
Me the Meaning of Being Lonely."

****
Show me the meaning of being lonely

So many words to mend the broken heart
Its hard to see in a crimson love
So hard to breathe
Walk with me, an maybe
Nights of light so soon become
Wild and free I could feel the sun
Your every wish will be done
They tell me.

Show me the meaning of being lonely
Is this the feeling I need to walk with
Tell me why I can't be there where you are
There's something missing in my heart

Life goes on as it never ends
Eyes of stone observe the trends
They never say forever gaze
Guilty roads to an endless love
There's no control
Are you with me now
Your every wish will be done
They tell me

Show me the meaning of being lonely
Is this the feeling I need to walk with
Tell me why I can't be there where you are
There's something missing in my heart

There's nowhere to run
I have no place to go
Surrender my heart, body and soul
How can it be you're asking me to feel
The things you never show

You are missing in my heart
Tell me why I can't be there where you are

Show me the meaning of being lonely
Is this the feelings I need to walk with
Tell me why I can't be there where you are
There's something missing in my heart.

****

The show ends as the crowd cheers and applauds the Backstreet Boys,
and the BSB and Josh make their way back to the green room to rest and talk
a bit before leaving. The guys sit down, and Kevin is the first to speak.

"So, Josh, what is this I hear about you being in a band?"

"Well, Kevin, I'm in a band called 3 Deep," replies Josh.

"Cool, I think I heard something about that group when we were
touring in Canada," replies Nick.

"Yeah, we're very popular in Canada, just haven't hit the big time in
the US yet, but eventually we hope to," replies Josh, "Right now we're
looking around for a gig as an opening act for a tour."

"Well, if you're any good, you can maybe go on tour with us," replies
Howie.

"You're kidding right?"

"No, we have a tour of the states coming up soon, we're co-headlining
with Britney Spears, and have Aaron Carter lined up as an opening act, but
we're still looking for another opening act," replies Kevin.

"Sounds good," replies Josh.

"Okay, well, we're have our managers get in touch with yours then,
and see what we can work out," replies Brian.

"Cool, Eddie and CJ would love it if we got to tour with the
Backstreet Boys and Britney Spears," replies Josh, "So would I."

****

Suddenly, Josh's cell phone rings, and he quickly takes it out and
answers it.

"Hello, this is Josh."

"Hey, Josh, I know you had the interview on Rosie today, you almost
done?"

"Yeah, Eddie, actually I am done. I'm in the green room talking with
the guys of the BSB right now."

"Yeah, right, and I'm a monkey's uncle," replies Eddie Cibrian.

"You don't believe me huh? One second," replies Josh as he pulls the
phone away from his ear, "Hey guys, its Eddie, he doesn't believe that I'm
here with you guys, could you sing a verse or two of one of your songs?
Then say hello to him?"

"Sure, no problem," replies Nick.

****
I may run and hide
When you're screamin' my name, alright
But let me tell you now
There are prices to fame, alright
All of our time spent in flashes of light

All you people can't you see, can't you see
How your love's affecting our reality
Every time we're down
You can make it right
And that makes you larger than life

Josh puts the phone back to his ear, and replies, "Now do you believe
me?"

"Yeah, I can't believe you're talking with them. God I wish I was you
right now."

"Yeah, hey, guess what?"

"What?"

"They're going to talk with their management and have them talk to
our management to see if we can open for their tour that they're doing with
Britney Spears. Aaron Carter is one of their opening acts, they just need one
more. We may just be it," replies Josh.

The six guys talk some more, and Kevin and Josh really seem to hit it
off. The guys invite Josh out to dinner with them, and he gladly accepts the
invitation. After dinner, Brian and Nick excuse themselves and had for the
hotel. Shortly after, Howie and AJ head for the hotel as well, leaving Kevin
and Josh alone.

The two of them continue talking about anything that comes to mind,
ranging from music, to acting, to favorite school subjects, etc. Neither one of
them can really figure it out, but each finds the other exceedingly easy to
talk to, and fun to be around. In the back of his mind Kevin tries his best to
suppress his growing feelings of admiration, and perhaps even love for Josh.
Kevin isn't sure what it is about Josh, but being with him is causing him to
have feelings that he's never had, feelings that he knows he shouldn't be
having, but is really enjoying them.

Totally unknown to Kevin, is that Josh is having very similar feelings.
Josh finds Kevin very easy to talk to, fun to be around, and very cute. He
does his best to push these thoughts out of his mind. Josh has always thought
there was a chance that he was gay ever since he was about 14 or so, but he
was never really sure, and he always did his best to suppress these strange
and, according to society, unnatural feelings. Up until now he had
succeeded, but now being with Kevin all of this was coming to a screeching
halt. He doesn't know how nor why, but he still tries his best to get rid of the
feelings because he figures that he'll only get hurt, when Kevin does not
return the feelings.

The two of them continue talking well into the night, until eventually
the owner of the restaurant comes and says that they restaurant is closing and
that they will have to leave. They had totally lost track of the time, they
quickly exchange the numbers for their cell phones, before they go off in the
separate ways to their hotels, both feeling a sudden emptiness wash over
them.

Nick & Brian - Part 28 Written by JCV

The next day, Nick, Brian, Howie, AJ, and Kevin fly back to Orlando.
Kevin is quiet throughout the entire flight, because he can't stop thinking
about Josh. He's not sure what it is about Josh that he finds so attractive, his
brown hair, his emerald green eyes, his smile, or what. He just can't stop
thinking about Josh. Kevin leaves the Orlando airport very quickly without
even as much as a word to the other guys, and heads directly for his
apartment.

Once their, he locks himself in the bedroom and sits down on the bed
to think things through. I mean, Kevin has watched Josh on Y&R for a long
time now, but he's never had such a strong attraction to him until now.
Perhaps meeting him in person, and getting to know the real Joshua Morrow,
and not Nicholas Newman, is what sparked his feelings. Kevin is in deep
thought until his cell phone starts ringing. At first he considers not
answering it, cause its probably one of the guys or something, that is until he
remembers that the only people who have his cell phone number are Brian,
his mom, and Josh.

****

He figures that Brian or his mom would probably just call him on his
apartment's phone, and there were no messages, so as Kevin turns on the cell
phone, he hopes and prays that its Josh.

"Hello, this is Kevin."

"Hello, Kevin, its Josh," replies Joshua Morrow.

'Yes!' thinks Kevin to himself, before saying into the phone, "Hey
Josh. What can I do for ya?"

"Well, I was wondering if maybe we could talk for awhile. I really
don't know why, but I actually miss talking to you."

"Really?"

"Yeah. Your just an interesting guy, and I don't know what it is about
you, but I find talking with you to be very, very easy."

"I noticed the same thing about you, Josh," replies Kevin.

The two of them continue talking well into the night, until suddenly a
beeping noise can be heard. Kevin looks at his phone, and sees the words
"low battery" flashing on the screen. Before he's cut off from Josh, he
quickly gives him his apartment number, before hanging up and popping the
cell phone into the charger.

****

Josh calls Kevin back, gives him his apartment phone number, before
saying good night, and that he will call back tomorrow, after he's done
taping for the show. Kevin says goodnight, and begins to take off his clothes
and get ready for bed.

Kevin pulls back the covers on his bed, and gets in, totally naked as
usual. Before he goes to bed, he realizes that talking with Josh all this time,
has given him a major hard on. He decides that he has to do something about
it before he goes to bed.

Kevin reaches over to the nightstand, opens the drawer, and pulls out
a tube of hand lotion. He puts some on his hand, and then begins to work his
hand up and down on his stiff ten-inch rod. The entire time he fantasizes
about what it would be like if Josh was sucking him off. This causes Kevin
to get off rather quickly, and with a larger load then he's ever shot.

The cum shoots out of his cock like a bullet from a gun for several
minutes, landing mostly on his stomach, although some landed on his chest
and even his chin. He quickly licks the drops from his chin, before grabbing
some tissues and cleaning up the rest and putting it in the nearby waste
basket.

Kevin then pulls the covers over himself, and settles down into bed
for the night, thinking about Josh.

Nick & Brian - Part 29 Written by JCV

Howie and AJ lay in bed together as they have every night for months.
They're both wide awake, and trying to decide whether or not they're ready
to consummate their relationship. However, neither one knows that that is
what the other is thinking.

"Penny for your thoughts," replies Howie as he gently caresses the
AJ's cheek.

"Well, I hope you won't get mad at me for this, but I was thinking
about whether or not tonight should be the night or not."

"Night for what?"

"You know, the night that we make love for the first time," replies AJ.

"Hmm, that's funny, I was just thinking the same thing."

"You were?"

"Yeah, Alex, I was."

"And? Did you decide D?"

"Yeah, I have. Alex, for the past few months that we've been together
I've been doing a lot of thinking, and I've realized that I really do love you a
lot. I would like nothing more then to spend the rest of my life with you, and
to lose my virginity to you, tonight."

****

"Wow, I don't know what to say D."

"Say that you feel the same way."

"Oh trust me I do. I really do love you, and I can't seem to think about
my life without you. And I would be totally honored to take your virginity
tonight, not to mention letting you take mine."

"You mean?"

"What, D?"

"You mean, you're still a virgin?"

"That surprises you?"

"Well, to tell the truth, kind of yeah. I would have thought that you
would have lost that a long time ago. I mean you always have been the weird
one of the group, no offense meant."

"You could never offend me, D, I love you to much," replies AJ as he
pulls Howie into a deep and passionate kiss. Their tongues begin to dance
around each other's mouths, exploring the all too familiar territory.

****

While they kiss, Howie slowly moves on top of AJ, and begins to
grind his covered hard on into AJ's covered hard on. The two of them stay
like this for several minutes, AJ's hands reaching around Howie's back and
gently massaging it, while Howie's hands work their way into the back of
AJ's yellow boxer-briefs and begin massaging his ass.

AJ works his hands down Howie's back, and slowly pulls his boxer-
briefs down as far as he can. The two of them break their kiss just long
enough to remove their boxer-briefs and throw them to the floor. Howie then
begins to kiss AJ's neck, as AJ runs one hand through Howie's hair, and the
other rubs his back.

Howie begins to suck passionately on AJ's neck, and gives him quite a
large hickey, before moving on down his chest. Howie stops to kiss each of
Howie's nipples, making sure to first swirl his tongue around on each of
them, before he lightly bites the rock hard pecs, kisses them a second time,
and the continues his decent down AJ's chest and abdomen.

AJ continues to run his hands through Howie's long hair, as Howie
reaches the main event, AJ's gorgeous rock hard eight-and-a-half inch tool.
Howie gently licks the drops of precum from the tip, and then runs his
tongue down its length, causing AJ to let out a moan of pure delight.

"Oh, D, that feels so good," says AJ as he continues to play with
Howie's hair.

Howie doesn't reply, and just works his way back up to the tip of AJ's
rod, kisses the head, and then swallows as much of it as he can. Howie
begins an up and down motion on AJ's cock, which causes AJ to moan in
ecstasy.

As Howie continues, AJ begins to hum the melody to "Get Down,"
which is constantly interrupted by his moans of pleasure. Howie continues
this up and down motion on AJ's tool, slowly at first, getting gradually faster
and faster, until finally he's sucking on AJ's cock like a madman.

After about ten minutes, AJ's entire body begins to tense up, and he
manages to scream out his lover's name before he begins shooting volley
after volley of cum into Howie's mouth. Howie greedily drinks every last
drop of it, before going back up to AJ's lips and kissing him passionately, as
they share AJ's cum.

AJ is too exhausted after the most intense orgasm he has ever had to
give Howie any pleasure, which Howie forgives him for, and the two of
them fall fast asleep in each other's arms.

Nick & Brian - Part 30 Written by JCV

Nick and Brian lay in their bed in the master bedroom of their home,
sound asleep in each other's arms. Ever since the day that they got together,
they have always loved simply laying in each other's arms, enjoying the feel
of flesh touching flesh.

Nick hasn't had any of his horrifying nightmares about Brian and
Justin in quite a long time, and he hopes that he'll never have any ever again.
But he knows that if he does, Brian will be there to comfort him. Nick
knows deep in his heart that Brian will always be there to comfort him,
because Brian loves him dearly, more then life itself.

Nick does not realize just how right about this he is. About a month
ago, Brian sneaked away from Nick for a few hours and went to a jewelry
shop, to buy that ever so important piece of jewelry. Brian has yet to have
the courage to give it to Nick and ask the question that goes along with it,
but he vows that today, after he makes love to Nick, he will do it. Finally he
will do it.

****

Brian wakes up, and smiles down at the sleeping form of Nick. Brian
pushes some stray hairs out of Nick's eyes, and kisses him on the cheek.
Brian hugs Nick tightly, and just enjoys the feeling of having Nick laying in
his arms. Brian never wants to loose this feeling, and wants to be able to
wake up like this every day. In short, Brian has found the one true love of
his life that he wants to grow old with, and spend all eternity with.

It is said that in life there is no such thing as a sure thing, but Brian
knows that this couldn't be farther from the truth. His feelings for Nick are
most definitely a sure thing, and he simply can't imagine his life without
Nick in it. Brian knows that in the rocky road of life, there will be many
problems for him and Nick as a couple, but he is ready to face all of them, as
long as he has Nick at his side.

Eventually Brian hopes that he will be able to come out to the world
about who he really is, and who he loves more then anything. But for now he
knows that that would be a big mistake. Brian can't stand to wait any longer,
so he insistently begins to kiss Nick on the lips, hoping to get him to wake
up.

After about 2 minutes of Brian's kissing, Nick finally begins to stir,
and then to wake up. Nick hugs Brian tightly, and they kiss each other
passionately, as their tongues wrestle around in each other's mouths.

****

Brian slowly pulls away from the kiss and begins kissing his way
down to Nick's neck, and begins to suck on it. Brian kisses and sucks on
Nick's neck for a few minutes, which causes a rather large, red hickey to
form. Brian then begins to kiss his way down Nick's chest, paying extra
special attention to Nick's rock hard pecs.

After swirling his tongue around on Nick's pecs a few times, and
kissing them, Brian continues to kiss his way down Nick's chest and
abdomen. But, instead of stopping at Nick's throbbing member, Brian
continues to kiss his way down Nick's left leg, all the way down to his foot.

Brian then moves into a kneeling position, and positions Nick's legs
on his shoulders. Nick knowing full well what Brian's intentions are, gladly
reaches over to the night table and grabs the container of lube that is kept
there just in case, and hands it to Brian.

Brian applies a generous amount of lube to his cock, and Nick's hot
hole, before beginning to ease in. Nick winces in pain for a moment, but this
pain is very quickly replaced with sheer ecstasy and total pleasure. Brian
continues to work his way deeper and deeper into Nick, as Nick lets out cries
of pleasure.

Once he has gotten himself all the way into Nick, Brian leans down
and begins to kiss Nick passionately, as he begins a slow in and out
movement. The two of them kiss passionately on the lips, as Brian quickens
his pace and begins moving in and out of Nick in a faster and more vigorous
manner.

Nick breaks away from the kiss and let's out another cry of ecstasy.
All of the intense pleasure that Brian is giving him, is pushing Nick very
close to the edge, and he knows that any minute now, he will begin to shoot
his load.

Brian reaches down and begins to manipulate Nick's cock gently in
his hand. This is all the encouragement it needed, and Nick begins to shoot
like crazy, shooting load after load out onto his stomach, and some hitting
Brian in the face.

Nick's orgasm, and the tightening up of his body, was enough to send
Brian crashing over the edge, as he too begins to shoot his load deep within
Nick, who lets out another cry of pleasure, as Brian does the same.

Brian's now softening cock eases out of Nick's hole, and Brian
collapses on top of Nick for a moment. The two of them hug each other for
several minutes, before they kiss briefly on the lips, and Brian gets out of
bed. He tells Nick to wait for him, as he gets out of bed, pulls on his robe
and leaves the room.

****

About two minutes later, Nick grabs his robe, and the sweatpants they
got from Jackie and Harold III, and follows Brian into the kitchen.

Just before entering the kitchen, Nick pulls on the sweatpants, and
then ties his robe shut. He then walks into the kitchen to see Brian opening a
bottle of champagne.

"I thought I told you to wait upstairs," says Brian with a grin.

"You did, but I missed you," replies Nick, as he comes over to Brian
and hugs him.

"Aww, that's so sweet," replies Brian, as he pours the champagne.

"Um, could you help me with something?" asks Nick.

"Of course, anything for you. What?"

"Well, wearing these things alone, is a bit hard, could you join me?"
replies Nick as he opens his robe to reveal the sweatpants. Brian grins, and
nods. Nick lets them fall to the floor, and Brian carefully steps into the other
set of pant legs that the sweatpants have, and kneels down to pull them up,
stopping briefly to plant a kiss on Nick's cock, which gets a giggle out of
him.

When Brian is finished pulling the sweatpants up, he kisses Nick
passionately on the lips. The kiss lasts several minutes, until finally Brian
breaks the kiss and begins to kiss Nick's neck. As Brian does this he pours to
glasses of champagne. From within his robe pocket he removes a small
black velvet box, opens it, and takes the wondrous sparkling diamond ring
from inside. He drops it into one of the glasses of champagne.

He hands the glass with the ring in it to Nick, and takes the other
glass. Brian holds up his glass, and Nick does the same.

****

"To us," replies Brian as he sips the champagne.

"To us," replies Nick as he tips the glass upwards to take a sip of the
champagne. When he does this he sees the sparkling in the bottom of the
glass that could not possibly be the champagne, or the light hitting the
crystal flute. It's the light hitting the diamond ring in the bottom of the glass.

Nick looks at wonder in Brian's eyes, as Brian takes the glass from
Nick, and removes the ring from it. He takes Nick's left hand in his right
hand, and with his left holds the sparkling diamond ring just in front of
Nick's ring finger.

"Nick, we've been together for awhile now. I've come to love you
more then life itself, and I never want this to end. I want us to be together
always, so that is why I ask you this question now. Nickolas Gene Carter,
will you marry me?"

To Be Continued...
Will Nick say yes?Nick's answer and more in the next installment of Nick & Brian.
